30 N.J. towns where property taxes hurt the most

Property taxes are consistently one of New Jerseyans' top concerns, with good reason. At $8,549, they're the highest in the country. No surprise they're also a hot topic on the gubernatorial campaign trail.

Republican nominee Kim Guadagno has said she wouldn't run for re-election in 2021 if she doesn't deliver property tax relief. Democratic nominee Phil Murphy also thinks he can bring relief.

It's an especially big problem for many because Jersey's sky high real estate taxes can claim a good chunk of a homeowners' income.
